The donkey CRX · 02-04-2015, 10:47 PM

Thanks for checking in bluesteel93. You are right, I have been able to stay close to the "life time" average of 82 MPG, but my stretch goal of 87 MPG looks to be out of reach. I do feel that without the recent pre heat and alternator delete I would be no better than about the low 70 MPG range.

Unfortunately, while doing maintenance on the 1988 CRX, I discovered it had a blown head gasket. So the CRX is currently on hold until I decide if it will be worth the money to try and bring it back to life.

Sorry I have not been on Ecomodder much lately, but I have some other projects that are taking up most of my time this winter. I plan to get back to my MPG projects soon.
